jq json parser notes
From thelinuxwiki
jq manual
jq Manual (development version)
select
{ "json": { "table": [ { "name": "foo", "color": "green" }, { "name": "bar", "color": "blue" } ] } }
$ cat json.json | jq '.json.table[] | select (.name == "foo")'
{
"name": "foo",
"color": "green"
}
Regular expressions
test(val), test(regex; flags)
Like match, but does not return match objects, only true or false for whether or not the regex matches the input
example:
$cat .tmp.json | jq '"HAHAHA 123" | test("hahaha.*[0-9]{3}"; "i")'
true
